Subject: This is very interesting

Very interesting read, Did not even know that they were going to try to do a NES port before!

Subject: NES

Wie kann ich eine NES-Datei öffnen? Laut dieser Seite kann ich es über Nestopia oder einen anderen Emulator tun, aber ich kann keine gute Quelle finden, um sie legal herunterzuladen.

is cool!

Subject: Pretty neat

I think it's amazing how this has been uncovered.

Regarding emulation, I cannot do anything after running the rom.

This is most likely just a problem with my emulator, however.

Thank you for contributing to this piece of history.

Subject: So cool, but maps are scrambling

I have the NES FCEUltra Ver: rev22 emulator and everything works except that the maps are completely scrambled. (Ex. On the "start a new city option", they don't show any land or anything in the frame.) Any suggestions?

You seem confusing piracy with game preservation, so allow me to ask you a question.

Can you physically purchase a copy of Sim city for the Nintendo Entertainment System? How about virtual console on 3DS? Wii U? Switch?

Uh, I guess you can't as Sim City on NES was never released!

Merry Christmas, if you support the devs, email them, send a donation, buy something they profit from.

Nobody profits from releasing prototypes other than the fans. ;)
